While they share a language with people in France, there are some differences in pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar. This dialect is often referred to as Canadian French.
However, it's important to note that French Canadians also have Indigenous languages as part of their heritage. There are over 60 Indigenous languages spoken in Canada, and some of them have been spoken in the regions now known as Quebec and other French Canadian communities for centuries.
Here are some examples of Indigenous languages spoken by some French Canadians:
* Innu (also known as Montagnais)
* Mi'kmaq
* Algonquin
* Cree
* Ojibwe
The relationship between French Canadians and Indigenous peoples is complex and varied. Some French Canadians are directly descended from Indigenous communities, and many others have lived alongside Indigenous groups for generations.
